and lyrics
Let’s slow it down

c, g,dm, if we had forever
c, g, dm, i wouldn’t measure time
c, g, dm i wouldnt count the heartbeats
c, g, dm between your heart and mine

c, g, dm you’re the reason time is precious
and i want it to slow down
you’re the reason that I stay here
that I want to be around

(Am) but time moves fast it doesn’t last (dm)
(em) let’s slow it (am)
down,
let’s slow it down
(dm) the sand is slipping through (am) our hands
(em) let’s slow it down let’s slow it down
am

(c) let’s make a moment (g) last a lifetime (dm)
(c) let’s make (g ) our dreams reality (dm)
(c) let’s promise (g) each tomorrow (dm)
(c ) let’s make each (g ) day eternity (dm )

(Am) cause time moves fast it doesn’t last (dm)
(em) let’s slow it (am)
down,
let’s slow it down
(dm) the sand is slipping through (am ) our hands
(em) let’s slow it down let’s slow it down
(am)

(f) If forever was a promise, (g )I’d make that (em) promise true (am )
(f ) Every second, every heartbeat, (g ) I’d spent( em) them with you (am)

(c) let’s make a moment (g) last a lifetime (dm)
(c) let’s make (g ) our dreams reality (dm)
(c) let’s promise (g) each tomorrow (dm)
(c ) let’s make each (g ) day eternity (dm )

Am) cause time moves fast it doesn’t last (dm)
(em) let’s slow it (am)
down,
let’s slow it down
(dm) the sand is slipping through (am ) our hands
(em) let’s slow it down let’s slow it down
(am)

I want to make this g
moment ff last,
let’s slow it down, slow
it down
